Finally…the Gladiator is home!

[gladiego]

Hey y’all!

Finally took delivery of the Gladiator. Went with the Overland Granite Crystal because that’s pretty much all I could find down here in South Florida, besides ridiculously marked up Rubicons.

I’m a first time Jeep owner and I can see how this can quickly snowball out of control. With less than 15 miles on it, I’ve already ordered way too much sh*t!

My ideas for this build:
3.5” JKS Lift with Fox 2.0
Fox steering stabilizer
37’s
17x9 - still can’t decide between Black Rhino Arsenal, BR Overland, XF856 Omega

Happy to be part of this community!

Beautiful jeep!

you may not be pleased with the 3.73s and 37s combo.

Stock is real nice.

Congrats. I wouldn’t make it sound like you settled for the Overland. Maybe the color which still isn’t bad itself. Otherwise I say good job. Unless you just have the money for it I personally can’t justify the extra 10k for a Rubicon when the Overland has everything I personally need and actually a lot that even Rubicon’s don’t. In most cases it’s the best trim for balancing budget plus amenities. I won’t by base model anything.

also unless you plan regearing in your budget you may want to reevaluate running 37s with the 3.73 gears on an Overland. Anything over 35s will be pushing it, gear wise. Hell even most all 35s at the very least require a odometer recalibration. Which still beats regearing.

good luck and have fun!! Enjoy the JT!

In South Florida you can't forget Bestop Sunrider.

Welcome fellow South Floridian! Hope to see this beauty around. I went with Arsenals myself.

Welcome and congrats. Even 3.73's with 35's is a dog if you have any hills. I geared to 4.56 with 35's on mine and much better. you may want to consider 4.56 to 5.13's for the 37's.

Congratulations and enjoy the new ride. I would say let the mods begin, but it seems you've already started. You do know that Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket
